A brief description:                                                                            

The common wasp (Vespula vulgaris) and the German wasp (Vespula germanica) are the 2 most common type of wasp in the uk although approx 9000 species have been identified in the uk.

The common wasp has distinctive yellow and black stripes and adult workers are between 12mm-18mm approx 15mm in length with the queen being larger with a length of approx 20mm

The German wasp also has distinctive yellow and black stripes but the adult workers are slightly smaller that the common wasp and are approx 12mm in length and under closer inspection can be told apart by marking and dots on the abdomen and head.

Life span and reproduction:

With wasps being a season pest the queens that have gone into hibernation from the previous season (around September/October) will start to emerge in spring usually around march/April and start looking for a suitable location to build a nest.

An untreated nest from a previous season will produce 1000s of queens that will hibernate to emerge the following season, however only a small percentage of queens will survive hibernation.

The queens have a life span of approx 12 months with female workers life span is between 10-20 days with male workers have a slightly longer life span.

Once the queens have found a suitable nesting point they will start to build a nest with a small cell unit and lay eggs, then once the first brood of workers have hatched they will take over the nest building duty and brining food for the larvae whilst the queen concentrates on egg laying.

Each queen can produce a nest with up to 8000 larvae and will lay between 200-300 eggs a days for a cycle of about 23 days.

Habitat and living conditions:

Wasp nests will be built in all locations, in loft spaces, ventilation voids, gardens sheds, however over the years I’ve treated nests in boats, under car bonnets.

Queens will usually locate areas with lots of vegetation and shrubs for good nest building material and food so leafy areas will always have a bigger problem with wasps.

Habitat and living conditions:

Nests are constructed with plant material such as tree bark and leaf etc; the nests are a complex design with a outer shell for protection and a stacked cell structure for the larvae. The nest are soft to touch and will crumble if removed very similar to paper mache.

Health and disease:

Many people will get stung at one point or another with no problems or allergic reactions,however being stung will leave a raised swelling that can be painful and itchy, however within a few days any swelling or pain will disappear.   

Many people are extremely allergic to wasp stings and being stung can cause that person to go into anaphylaxis shock,the symptoms will include vomiting, dizziness, increased pulse and in some situations will result in death.

How to determine the presence of wasps:

The biggest clue you have a nest to visibly see one, however some can be hidden in the non accessible places.

Seeing wasps flying about a light bulb in a loft space or finding live wasps in light fittings and also seeing a high level of wasp activity around a certain area or a constant flow of traffic coming and going from a particular point would indicate a wasp nest is present.

Treatment; 

Wasps do stings and as nests are not always accessible so we would strongly advise you seek professional help to deal the problem in a safe way.

We charge a very reasonable fee off £50.00 to deal with the problem and will inspect other areas of your property for other nests as additional nests if treated at the same time will only cost an additional £20.00.

As long as we can see the entry and exit points from outside,we will be able with our equipment and extension poles to reach the nest from ground level.

If the area of activity can’t be reached from external areas we might require access to a loft space or access equipment might be required to treat the nest.

All treatments are fully guaranteed, so if after 72 hrs the treatment hasn’t been fully effective and wasp activity is still present, a follow up visit will be carried out free of charge.
